This course is designed as a short program emphasizing safety, enjoyment, and skill development. The skills and knowledge gained can set the stage for a lifetime of exploration, adventures, a healthy lifestyle, appreciation of water and the natural world, lasting memories with family and friends, and a rewarding experience for all.

This L4 course is designed to teach recognition and avoidance of common river hazards, execution of self-rescue techniques, and simple rescues for paddlers in distress. Emphasis is placed both on personal safety and simple, commonly used skills. Fundamental and more advanced techniques for dealing with hazards that carry greater risks for both victim and rescuer, such as strainers, rescue vest applications, entrapments, and pins also are practiced. Scenarios will provide an opportunity for participants to practice their skills both individually and within a team/group context.
